Chris.
The Lord never wanted the lamps to go out. The lamps were to be kept burning continually. These lamps, burning in God's House, were a type of the Holy Spirit filled True Believer of the New Testament. The Lord wants us to be filled with pure oil and for our lights to burn brightly. This pure oil can only burn purely when it is in pure vessels. A part of our calling as True Believers is to be pure.
